A 12-episode television anime by animation studio Nut aired in Winter 2017. Crunchyroll and Funimation streamed the show with subtitles and English dub, respectively. A sequel anime film opened in Japan in February 2019, grossing over 420 million yen (approximately US$ 3.8 million).

Huh, the light novel has reached volume 14. I think I dropped it around volume 11?
The main reason why I dropped the light novels is because I like TS Medic Battlefield Diary more~

Looks like the anime will adapt volume 4 and volume 5. Not going to watch the anime because I need to catch up with other light novel series~

Looks like next season is going to be even crazier, and I’m hyped to watch it this summer.

They took quite popular seiyuu's for additional cast sugi and youko, very good I like their voices. They changed staff a bit but it still looks good from what I see in PV.

I wonder if they'll get to the "Soviet" arc, since the fansub of that arc in the manga adaptation caused a lot of keyboard wars back then.
